Following the Passion: Brandon Carrillo’s interesting life journey from New Jersey to Los Angeles

The fact is that everyone doesn’t get the chance to follow their passion in life and turn their dreams into reality. Studies show that most of the world’s population is unsatisfied with their career choices. ‘Interest in work matters’ are a few words that sum up the whole concept of displeasure in people with what they do. But among these billions of individuals, there are a handful who are actually lucky enough to pursue what they love the most and end up making the most out of it.

Brandon Carrillo is one of the many names who is living his best life when it comes to his career choices. Born in Cape May, New Jersey, Brandon is an American actor as well as a boxer who moved to Los Angeles at the age of 18. He started his journey as a boxer, where he competed in nationwide boxing championships and is also the honorary of multiple achievements. Moreover, he is the 2014 Blue & Gold heavyweight Gold medalist and 2014 Golden Gloves heavyweight Silver medalist.

Despite all his accomplishments in the world of boxing, Brandon wanted to do something more. Hence, he ventured into acting as there were no limits to his passion and ambition. A few years down the line, and after struggling for some time, he emerged triumphant and managed to walk on the path of stardom. However, the actor-turned-boxer claims that his toned physique – all thanks to boxing – has actually helped in his acting career because it allows him to essay characters of strong men on the screen, leaving a lasting impression on the audience.

Known as a perfectionist who brings the characters he plays onscreen to life through his remarkable acting skills, Brandon Carrillo states, “The most appealing part of being an actor to me is the ability to live many different lives.” He believes that his individual approach towards any role he portrays on the big screen is what appeals to and intrigues the audience. Some of his notable projects include Power Book 2: GHOST, Big Time Adolescence, Best Worst Weekend Ever and many more. 

Talking about his passion for acting, Brandon Carrillo shares that despite all the setbacks in this competitive industry, it is his love for the craft that keeps him going. In fact, he was never in this for fame or money. “At the end of the day I mold myself into the character I am about to portray and that surpasses everything else that comes with it. For me it is always fun to pick up a scene and let it ride, forgetting everything else when the camera is about to roll,” he stresses.

Brandon further went on to say, “My immediate ambition has nothing to do with my career. You can only control so much, I plan on focusing what’s in my control and that is my own happiness. Don’t think too much. Enjoy your life. Things will happen when the time is right. Just stay dedicated and consistent with whatever you do. Don’t run away from any opportunity even if you fail big early on in your career. The key is to learn from the mistakes you made, regroup and always move forward because one day you will make it through.”

When asked who he looks up to, Brandon shares that his parents are his role models. “Their individual stories are always more interesting than mine. My dad is from Camden and my mom is from Philly. My parents have motivated me in every phase of my life and supported me throughout.” He also revealed that he has learned a lot from Alex Rodriguez, an American former professional baseball shortstop and third baseman, businessman, and philanthropist. “I think Ben Foster is doing the most interesting stuff these days,” he adds. Brandon Carrillo is all set to steal the limelight not only with his performances but also his positive attitude and the motivation to pull off every character onscreen. He advises all aspiring actors or sportspeople to never lose hope. “I am a firm believer that we are always the masters of our own fate and that the good days are yet to come. So, stopping is not an option whether it’s career or life. Just keep moving forward and put in all your energies to reach your goals,” Brandon concludes.
